$2,500. This judgment the rilroad re
fused to ratisfy, though of tcn demanded
to do so, and to secure its payment the
appointinent of a receiver was asked.

ership shall not be continued until the

company. When that company was
succeeded by the Southern the road be
came the property of the last named
corporation.
The Southern is now the owner of
practically all the stock of this road, but
the road has been operated at a loss, and
the Southern has recently secured a
judgment against the company for 50,
000.
To satisfy this judgment the road is
advertised for sale Dec. 4 under execu
tion by the sheriff of Orange county.

case of kidnaping occurred here yester

who bad reared the child from infa:cy
since its mofhtr went to tne insane a-y

became unable to provide for it.
Shaw had, however, previously turned
the boy over to Cook's wife and subse
quently sued out habeas co-pus ;ro

to appear, the court turned the child
over to Cook and wife, who, havinz no
offspring, have become deeply attached
to the little fellow.
Cook has since had the care and nur
ture of the boy, sending him to school
and doing for him as if he were his

father kidnaped the boy from school.
They were followed to Hartselle, ar
rested and brought back and last night
while the officers were fixing the pa.

room and quietly abducted the boy
again.
Shaw intends fighting- for his child,
attorneys claiming that he cannot be
